Sad to hear @DrAmirKhanGP on BBC saying nurse practitioners are good for dealing with "simple things". Very insulting when I have just finished a shift in out of hours independently managing complex patients. We are not drs (by choice) but we are far more than simple things!

@Thom_Langer Its more positive stories like this we need. I am self isolating, my husband has symptoms, we are scared. There are too many death stories being shared which feeds our anxiety. Keep up the amazing work

@DrNeenaJha Sats probe and thermometer should be as common as plasters in everyones house - they are really useful for telephone triage

@EwenPearson2 @pkonline84 Have you ever thought it may be that because all systems are not joined up, community staff as an example cannot order in their name as there is nowhere for the result to go and nothing to do with offloading responsibility? What’s your role?

We always hear about the doctors and nurses in the downing street briefings, lets not forget our allied health professional and non-clincal staff colleagues (far too many to mention) who have allowed us to keep the NHS going #nhsfamily #oneteam

@lyndashentall @DrNeenaJha Not at all, a lot of areas provide them for free to high risk patients. You are right though that for some people they can be too expensive - maybe the government should invest in these for every household rather than lining their friends pockets

@DrAnimeshSingh @pkonline84 This is not always possible though. So either you work with colleagues and allow them to request to your system or they ask you to do. Not ideal, but this is a system problem not the practitioner

@liminalentity @DrNeenaJha Probably not, however my experience is in a OOH GP service, so if I am prioritising calls its easier with a sats probe (even if the odd one is not accurate) over no sats probe. In my experience they have never been far off my pulse oximeter

@pkonline84 When I was a community matron the only option I had was to order test and put the GP surgery name on so they went to the GP system. The community system could not accept results. So either community staff order test or send a task to you, what would you prefer?

@liminalentity @DrNeenaJha The problem with covid is that patients don't have classic signs of hypoxia. Generally most cheap sats probs are reliable - doing telephone triage it can be a real help. For the odd ones that will be wrong, people having their own sats prob can mean fast treatment for many

@ShelaghFogarty Mass vaccination sites are not needed for the elderly or at risk. GPs vaccinate these groups every year for flu so know how to do it. Its an unnecessary publicity stunt from the government (like the Nightingales)
